Travel Department Reviews 

Fantastic trip. Saw & experienced everything we wanted. Number & quality of meals included was exceptional. Advance information on visas & vaccinations came too late and was limited and not particularly helpful. We had to do a lot of research ourselves. Guide was a nice guy but the depth of his knowledge was limited, very good in certain locations & verging on non existent in other areas. Having the same guide for the entirety of the trip over such a vast geographical area didn’t work. That said we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We are just back from a memorable trip to Egypt and cruise of the Nile. It was an amazing trip and so well organized everything went smoothly and was a fantastic experience.
The experience was all the more enjoyable by the care of our tour guide Dodi Fathy his knowledge of everything and his enjoyment of Egypt was infectious. He made everything so amazing. His company and jokes made journeys more enjoyable.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Travel Dept. We found to be very informative and helpful.

This was our best holiday with Travel department so far,excellent hotel,guide and coach driver.

Just had a terrific holiday in Egypt, 2 days in Cairo, 7 nights Nile cruise then 3 nights stay in Hurgada. Our Guide Dodi did a fantastic job his knowledge is terrific really looks after you, without him we would just be looking at the carvings and buildings and not knowing a thing, nothing was any bother to him.

Had a fabulous week in Sorrento. We were met at the airport by Cinzia, then onward travel to the Hotel Ascot. The hotel was in the perfect location, about a 10 minute walk from the main square. I am a solo traveller and paid an upgrade to have a double room. The room was spotlessly clean and had everything that I needed. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and there was a good selection of breakfast items.

Our tour guide Cinzia was first class. Very informative and nothing was any trouble. The tours to Positano and Amalfi were very good but tiring. Both were very busy and there was a lot crammed in, in one day. Our trip to Capri was fabulous. Our tour guide in Capri was Christina and she was also wonderful. Both guides had a fabulous sense of humour. Pompeii was also very good and Cinzia recommended a place for lunch which was well worth the money. I did the additional tour to Ravello which was beautiful and in the mini bus you got a great view of Positano and Amalfi. I thoroughly recommend the Ravello trip.

Sorrento is beautiful with its little back streets and fabulous restaurants. A very safe town. This is a 5* holiday.

Ticked all the boxes from Hotel great food Food and excellent guide Paula. As most travellers were Irish or EU passport holders the only delays were with British passport holders who took so long to clear passport control resulting in an hour long wait just standing about
Brexit bites !!!

A well organised travel company with experienced guides wherever you choose to go. Nothing is left to chance and we felt looked after during our entire stay. On another note the food and staff at our resort recently was superior to our expectations.

The weather was a perfect 24 degrees except our visit to Mt Etna.

Montenegro is a beautiful country to visit and would be happy to return. The standards in the hotel were excellent, good management and all staff well prepared for their respective jobs. The The Travel Department people on the ground were very helpful.

My husband and I have been travelling with Travel Department on holidays for many years. Always excellent. So I thought I would leave a review this time as we have just booked another trip this year( the fourth)!
I would like to give very special mention for Cera who I normally book with by telephone. She is simply outstanding and a delight to deal with. Always friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. A joy to book with. Pauline Dempster.

Great travel company, well organised, lovely travel guide and very informative. Brilliant sightseeing trips included. Would highly recommend, just would like more trips from Belfast airport please.

Overall the holiday was great with an excellent guide. The hotel in Porto was was below par for a Travel Department hotel. Bed was hard and frame creeked.Had to put mattress on floor to get a night's sleep.
